On Lazarus: The discomfort factor

[That Called the Vlagh]

I see that Pierconium is now Regent and that Feux has been banished from the Senate whilst losing the endorsement of Senator Aleisyr, would Vlagh have any insight into that recent turn of events?

Political blunders have repercussions within a meritocratic society.

I really do miss the days when players like this actually played the game.

 

...Anyway, I thought AMOM was in the Pacific Senate at the time he made his statement. I'm old and don't pay as much attention as I used to, but wasn't he in the Senate at that time?

That is quite appropriate in this case, in my opinion.

No, he was not.  He was never reinstated and his statement regarding this was a lie.

 

Also, at least one such player has decided to take up an active role again.

It is curious that only since Lazarus has fallen this comes out about AMOM not being a Senator. 

 

If this had come out when AMOM made his announcement, there'd probably be a little more credibility to this.

he wasn't in the WFE was he?

This... Changes quite a bit.

No, but he was mentioned in a dispatch by Feux (Who was both a Senator and the Regent at the time) as being a Senator.

Unfortunately, I can not speak to that. I was personally on LOA for this entire event and upon my return my associate in The Pacific seems to have immediately begun addressing this issue in Gameplay. It would appear that Feux made some private deal with AMOM about NPO reinstatement which didn't pan out and resulted instead with a senate appointment in the NLO.

What I can say definitively, based on my own sources and investigation, is that regardless of AMOM's post, and any dispatch (which I have yet to see), AMOM was not ever reinstated into the Pacific Senate for any moment. He never had access to anything relating to NPO government.

As to why this was not addressed, from what I can tell certain parties were contacted privately to disavow this position. But, it seems that the NPO's primary diplomat resigned in protest and the secondary person for that role was busy in Lazarus. If you couple that with the apparent lack of communication internally that seems to have occurred between what the NLO was planning and what was shared with the NPO you get a nice big clusterf*ck such as we have seen here.

*nods*  I was thinking that 'clusterf*ck' is about the best description of the entire situation.

[punkdaddy]

Yep, I can honestly say that the NPO has probably not had a screw of this magnitude in its history such as this one.

 

Trying to think.....

It's certainly been quite an event, first major bit of drama since I first joined

That about sums it up I think.

[Drop Your Pants]

he wasn't in the WFE was he?

The Laz WFE? He was for a while but got taken out again.

A+ for effort tho.
